Package Thermal Specifications
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series requires a thermal solution to
maintain temperatures within its operating limits. Any attempt to operate the processor
outside these operating limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and
potentially other components within the system. As processor technology changes,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation.

A complete solution includes both component and system level thermal management
features. Component level thermal solutions can include active or passive heatsinks
attached to the processor integrated heat spreader (IHS). Typical system level thermal
solutions may consist of system fans combined with ducting and venting.

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5148/5138/5128 implement a methodology
for managing processor temperatures which is intended to support acoustic noise
reduction through fan speed control and to assure processor reliability. Selection of the
appropriate fan speed is based on the relative temperature data reported by the
processor’s Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus as described in

reduction through fan speed control and to assure processor reliability. Selection of the
appropriate fan speed is based on the relative temperature data reported by the
processor’s Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus as described in
. The temperature reported over PECI is always a negative value and
represents a delta below the onset of thermal control circuit (TCC) activation, as
indicated by PROCHOT# (see

implement fan speed control must be designed to use this data. Systems that do not
alter the fan speed only need to guarantee the case temperature meets the thermal
profile specifications.
